Amazing tacos, warm hospitality, always good vibes. Teddy’s has become a weekly staple since we moved to Pasadena a year ago. If you like fish, don’t miss the mahi mahi tacos!

Every time you walk into this restaurant, the vibe is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is always fresh and full of energy thanks to the music one visit might be old school hip-hop and R&B, the next you’ll hear country, Banda, or even modern pop and house. It keeps things exciting and makes every experience feel unique.
But the real star here? The specialty tacos. Hands down, some of the best in Southern California. They’re packed with flavor, made with care, and honestly set a new standard for what tacos should taste like. The quality is consistent, and no matter what you order, you’re going to be impressed.
On top of that, the pricing is unbeatable for SoCal. You get top-tier food and an atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back without breaking the bank. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the vibe, but this restaurant does it effortlessly.
If you’re looking for a spot that combines amazing food, unbeatable tacos, and an always-fun atmosphere, this is it.

Great tacos. Honestly. They are small but delicious. And a nice assortment of beer and drinks to choose from. The Tacochino and grilled shrimp tacos are amazing. The Al Pastor is just “alright”. It needs more juice and pineapple for my liking.

Never coming back until you get air conditioning
My partner and I get Teddy’s tacos at least once a month since moving to Pasadena. Their Al Pastor burrito is so delicious, and big! We love their daily specials too. When I walk in the door, I am surprised they aren’t very busy because their food is so consistently good. We also love their house made horchata and salsas. Every time we have something to celebrate or suffer a minor inconvenience we say “let’s go get Teddys tacos”.

Waited 30 minutes behind four orders only to find out the tacos I wanted were sold out. No heads-up given. Terribly run place; I'm surprised they're still open. Never returning.

Yummy tacos! I had the Al pastor and asada street tacos. Meat was high quality and tortillas were a little crispy. Would come back

Where do I start?? Everything is so gooood!! I love their potato tacos and chicken taquitos! Simple but so rich in flavor! And the street tacos are so generous it’s my go to when I’m getting my protein but on a budget. I always leave happy and return for not only the food but hospitality! Everyone there is so nice and that says a lot about their work environment. That might be another reason their food is so delicious :)
